The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

It has been five days since Ma Jue came back from a trip to Xiangshan, but she has not received a reply from Zhou Hexuan, so she inevitably feels uneasy. What's more embarrassing, if you are rejected, you will not know how to get along when you meet in the future.

Peking University, girls' lounge.

Ma Jue was lying behind the window looking at the scenery in the distance, surrounded by girls chattering, and Zhou Hexuan's song "Far and Near" aroused bursts of amazement.

There are not many girls in Peking University, and the whole school adds up to only a few dozen, which can be called a school for monks.

Ma Jue returned to the classroom from the girls' lounge, and was pointed and commented by the boys along the way. As soon as she sat down, she found that "a little red in a thousand green bushes" was written on her desk, and she felt even more depressed, and angrily erased those words.

After one class was over, when Ma Jue returned to the classroom from the bathroom, he found that the words on the desk had changed to "almond eyes staring, willow eyebrows standing upright", and there were six love letters lying on the desk.

Ma Jue shook her head helplessly and sighed, she was numb to receiving love letters, at least a dozen a day. At the beginning, she had to open and read every letter, and even commented on the quality of the love letter, but now she didn't bother to open it, it was nothing more than words of admiration, or bad love poems.

Speaking of love poems, Ma Jue thought of Zhou Hexuan's "Far and Near". The writing is really good, it is a thousand times better than the love poems she usually receives, and it has a profound artistic conception and endless aftertaste.

These days, "Far and Near" has been spread all over Peking University, and there have been many poetry reviews in the school magazine, and these poem reviews have different content angles. Obviously, everyone has different interpretations of "Far and Near".

Ma Jue admired this very much. There are so many philosophies in a few lines of poems.

Back home at night, Peking University father-in-law Ma Yuzao took out two letters and a book, handed them to Ma Yu and said, "Your letters."

"Thank you, Dad." Seeing that one of the letters was signed by Zhou Hexuan, Ma Jue was overjoyed and ran back to his room with the letter.

The other letter and the book were sent by Lu Xun. Every time Lu Xun reads a good book, he will send a copy to Ma Jue after reading it, and give a brief comment on the book in the letter.

Ma Jue held Zhou Hexuan's letter and dared not open it, for fear of being rejected by the other party, so she decided to read Lu Xun's letter first.

Lu Xun's letter was very simple. He first commented on Ma Jue's poems and prose written some time ago, then introduced the newly sent book, and said that he would come to Peiping in a while.

Ma Jue sat for a long time after reading Lu Xun's letter, and finally opened Zhou Hexuan's letter, which made her very frustrated.

Zhou Hexuan seemed to be completely puzzled by the style, and did not mention Ma Jue's love at all, but commented on the song "He" purely from a literary point of view. He also said that the poem was written too hastily. Although it barely has rhythm and imagery, it still needs to be polished carefully, and the words and sentences must be more concise.

idiot!

Ma Jue was suddenly bitter, and scolded Zhou Hexuan a hundred times in his heart.

In fact, Zhou Hexuan is also in a dilemma. There are several women in his family, and he doesn't want to provoke the little girl again. But if she refused directly, she was afraid of hurting the girl's heart, and it would make Ma Jue feel embarrassed and difficult to see others, so she could only pretend that she didn't know.

That night, Ma Jue couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning. She got up and wrote a letter to Lu Xun, saying that she seemed to like someone, but he had a wife and turned a blind eye to her love. She felt very distressed, knowing that this should not be the case, but she couldn't restrain her feelings, and hoped that Lu Xun could help her out.

After writing Lu Xun's reply letter, Ma Jue wrote back to Zhou Hexuan, thanking Zhou Hexuan for criticizing and guiding her poems, and talked about some literary topics, and finally wrote a poem for Zhou Hexuan to comment on:

the night has fallen asleep,

But wake up my thoughts.

summer insects,

sing a lonely song,

Floating and turning in the night sky,

With a period of icy moonlight,

Crushed my dreams.

Dreamer,

Do you know what girls are thinking?

Ma Jue's love poem was sent to Zhou Hexuan soon.

Zhou Hexuan looked at it, shook his head and smiled wryly, and continued to evaluate the poems in a regular manner, trying to make Ma Jue quit.

Cui Huifu came to the study, checked the calligraphy that Zhou Hexuan had just practiced, and said: "Mr. Zhou has made rapid progress, and he has already begun to see the way. Next, it is best to copy regular script according to Wei Bei."

"Okay, in a few days, I'll ask Mr. Wang Guowei to borrow some rubbings of Wei Bei." Zhou Hexuan replied.

It is not easy to practice calligraphy these days. Only those who like to collect have a large number of rubbings in their homes. How can it be like all kinds of calligraphy copies of later generations flying all over the sky?

Zhou Hexuan is still very satisfied with his calligraphy progress. He has gradually become accustomed to writing traditional characters, and he has also practiced brush calligraphy well, but the pen calligraphy is still a bit bad.

But this is nothing, Zhou Hexuan has found confidence in Ba Jin.

Although Ba Jin's brush calligraphy is excellent, his hard-tipped calligraphy is a bit bad, not much better than Zhou Hexuan after hard work.

In the next half a month or so, the situation in the Central Plains War took a sharp turn.

In the direction of Henan, the He Chengjun Department of the Central Army has been defeated and retreated all the way to the south of Luohe; He was defeated by Shi Yousan's attack and retreated to the south of Yanzhou.

It can be said that the Central Army was defeated across the board in the north, and Chang Kaishen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. While convening his staff to discuss the combat strategy, he sent envoys to the northeast, hoping to spend a lot of money to buy Zhang Xueliang to help.

Yan Xishan is proud of his spring breeze. Although he is still worrying about military expenses, he seems to have seen the position of head of state beckoning to him.

At the end of June, the first batch of 100,000 catties of silver shipped from the United States arrived in Tianjin.

Sun Zhongshan was overjoyed and had contacted the Tianjin Mint to mint the silver into legal silver dollars.

Le Corbusier also returned from his inspection tour in Shandong, and Zhou Hexuan's brother-in-law Zhang Yuandong was also with him. Le Corbusier has already designed sculptures of Chinese laborers aiding France. One sculpture is in the shape of carrying a pole, and the other is in the shape of pushing a wheelbarrow. The two statues of Chinese laborers are in ragged clothes, wearing leggings, straw sandals, and copper ring number plates on their wrists. Their faces are weather-beaten, and their eyes reveal some confusion and hope for the future.

Corbusier decided to return to France along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and Zhang Yuandong also followed suit. He has now officially become Corbusier's assistant, and his future development in the field of architecture will definitely be better than in history.

The Chinese Labor Cemetery in France has also started construction, including the Chinese Labor Museum converted from a hospital, which will be completed by the end of the year at the latest.

Time came to July in a blink of an eye, Lu Xun went from Shanghai to Peiping, but Zhou Hexuan went south from Tianjin to Shanghai. Dozens of international students from all over the country have finished their preparatory classes and gathered in Shanghai to prepare to leave. Zhou Hexuan is going to see them off this time.
